The gate to the cemetery was right in front of them. Just as Hessiana had said, it was a barrier of twisted thorns and roses. This strange barrier stood in front of the north foyer of the castle, extending infinitely to both sides and above as if the whole world was divided into two by this barrier. It was impossible for a barrier of this scale to be hidden. When they were in the courtyard, they should have seen it. But it was not until they crossed the foyer that Hao Ren and Lily saw the Wall of Roses.
Obviously, this thing was an abnormal spatial phenomenon, or it might just be a mental illusion.
But looking at the piles of bones under the Wall of Roses, even a fool would not think that this thing was just a harmless illusion.
"We have seen this barrier." Hao Ren knew that Hessiana was dealing with the control system of the Soulless Guards, but he still asked for insurance. "Are you sure you can cross this thing as long as you have a strong mind? Lily and I saw at least two or three hundred skeletons down there, many of which looked like giants and other super races. These guys seemed to have been killed by the thorns. "
With such a pile of bones, Hao Ren did not think that there was not a single person with a strong mind. When it came to willpower, Hao Ren thought that he had a strong mind after he strengthened his mental power, but the husky next to him … Was it a joke to say that cats and dogs were afraid of each other?
It took two or three seconds for Hessiana to reply. "Hehe, so this is the last test. In addition to having a strong will, you have to ensure that you have no malicious intent. If you have the slightest malicious intent towards Lady Vivian, don't even think about stepping into the cemetery. You two should be okay, right? "
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched, thinking that Little Bat was still waiting for him here. He patted his chest and said, "You deal with the Soulless Guards. We will go to the cemetery to check out the situation. But you'd better hurry up. If we really fight with Vivian 'avatar, we may not be able to get away with it. We still have to wait for the reinforcements from the Soulless Guards. "
"Don't worry," Hessiana said impatiently. "I'm almost done here."
After hanging up, Hao Ren and Lily looked at each other and nodded lightly.
After that, the two of them strode toward the Wall of Roses, which looked bewitching yet strangely dangerous.
The barrier full of thorns and black roses was coming towards them. Hao Ren was subconsciously nervous, but then he felt that he had just passed through a slightly cool water curtain. A breeze blew across his cheeks. He opened his eyes and found that he and Lily were already standing on a grassland that should not have appeared in the castle.
The colors reappeared.
Night fell, and the bright moon hung high in the sky. The bright moonlight shone on the earth, and the green weeds that were high enough to reach the calves spread across the flat land, forming an endless, undulating green field. The grassland under the curtain of the night seemed boundless. In terms of spatial structure, it had completely transcended the castle in the Shadow World, and was more like a deeper layer of space.
This place was very different from the "cemetery" that Hao Ren had imagined.
Thinking of this, he looked back and found that the castle had indeed disappeared. Behind him and Lily, there was only a lonely Rose Gate standing on the ground. The thorny thorns and blood-red roses twisted into the shape of an arch, and a few fireflies were flying around the arch.
He retracted his gaze and looked for Vivian, or the Malevolence, on the endless grassland.
But he found nothing.
The grassland was empty, and there was no place to hide under the moonlight. If Vivian or the Malevolence had really woken up, they would not have hidden themselves. So everything was as Hao Ren had predicted.
Vivian had not woken up. Although the Malevolence had begun to move, it had not fully materialized. This was why there was only negative energy gathering around Haron Castle, but no observable disaster had occurred.
"Is this the deepest part of the dream that the big bat has set for herself?" Lily smacked her lips. "Tsk, she did not even go to school, but she is so artistic. I thought she was so poor that she only had a big house in her mind. Err, Mr. Landlord, why are you looking at me?"
The husky maiden was halfway through her exclamation when she found that Hao Ren was looking at her with a faint smile. She suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Are you still saying that you are not on good terms with Vivian?" Hao Ren looked at the husky maiden, who was still in a daze. He could not hold back his laughter.
"When did I get along with the big bat?" Lily suddenly jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail. "Mr. Landlord, don't talk nonsense like this! I may be working for you now, but as a former emperor, I have my principles. "
"Anyone who is hostile to Vivian will not be able to pass through the barrier of the cemetery," Hao Ren said casually. "Well, now it's your turn."
Lily was speechless.
The husky maiden was speechless. But when she saw Hasse on her shoulder, she became confident again. "Then why is he fine? Although Hasse is not here to kill Battie, he is now 600 years ago. Can you say that he is not hostile to Battie? So it must be that something is wrong with the barrier. It is not allowed at all. "
Hao Ren did not wait for the husky maiden to finish. He curled his lips and said, "Nonsense. You smashed him into a coma and carried him in. Not to mention hostility, he is no different from a vegetative person."
As Hao Ren said that, the old hunter on Lily's shoulder suddenly twitched and let out a muffled groan. It seemed that he was about to wake up.
Lily threw Hasse down reflexively. She held the sword in one hand and grabbed Hasse's collar with the other. Hasse opened his eyes at the same time. The unfortunate old hunter opened his eyes and saw Lily holding the sword, ready to smash him down. It reminded him of the humiliating experience of being knocked unconscious by the crazy maiden. The psychological impact even overwhelmed his killing instinct. The usually serious old hunter could not help but shout, "Wait a minute, you are being unreasonable."
"Hey —"
"Wait, Lily!" Hao Ren stopped the husky maiden at the last second before she could smash the sword down. "No need to smash him!"
"Huh? I don't have to knock him out this time? "
"It's time for Hasse to get some exercise," Hao Ren said as he looked around for any abnormalities on the steppe. "Look, Vivian is obviously not awake yet, and the Malevolence is not fully awake either. This is different from the time when I cracked it by force in the Siberian cave. This time, Vivian's layout of her hibernation is much better. So, we need expert guidance. Hasse, we can work together."
Hasse glared at Hao Ren and then at Lily with vigilance and hostility. His killing instinct was activated. In this space and time of 600 years ago, he had not yet gotten rid of the hostile impulse entangled in his blood and soul. So, he immediately discovered that the girl in front of him was an otherworldling. But the killing instinct that Lily gave him was not as strong as that of ordinary werewolves. He could only vaguely sense that Lily was a supernatural creature of mixed blood, similar to a werewolf, but it only gave him less than a quarter of the urge to fight, which puzzled the old demon hunter.
Hao Ren laughed when he saw Hasse's reaction. Before the innate hostility phenomenon was solved, he had tested it with Lily, Hasse, and other demon hunters. It proved that there was an innate hostility between the husky and the demon hunters, but the intensity was much lower than that of other otherworldlings. This was because Lily was not a complete otherworldling. The innate hostility effect worked on any species from the Plane of Dreams. Lily was originally a demon hunter, but later she became a big dog monster of mixed blood, soul, and bloodline. She and the demon hunters were of different races, but they were not completely different. This led to the demon hunters' baffling aura.
In short, when the demon hunters saw Lily, they felt that she was a werewolf, but why did they feel that there was no motivation to fight?
Under normal circumstances, an uncontrollable demon hunter would not have thought much of Lily. After all, thousands of years of war during the Mythological Era had turned the demon hunters and all other supernatural creatures into mortal enemies. All they needed to do was to slash at the suspected prey. However, Hasse did not have this condition. After staring at Lily for a long while, the old demon hunter turned to Hao Ren and said, "I don't think there's any need to cooperate with you, especially after all the sneak attacks and conspiracies you've done."
Lily gritted her teeth and said, "The Hasse of this era is really annoying. The one we know is so polite."
"The one we know also fought at the beginning." Hao Ren waved his hand and squatted down to look at Hasse, who was restrained by the energy shackles. "In fact, we have the same purpose — to save the world from Vivian Ancestor, who is about to go berserk. But my method here has a higher success rate. I had no choice but to kidnap you. After all, there is no way for you demon hunters to cooperate with outsiders through normal channels."
Hasse looked as if he had heard a ridiculous joke. "Haha, do you think I will cooperate with you this way?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not. The important thing is that you are not stupid." Hao Ren laughed. "You must want to know where I have brought you. Come, take a good look at this place. This is the deepest dimension where Vivian hibernates. Of course, I haven't seen where she is, but she must be somewhere here. She is about to wake up, and you have only two choices. Either we find a way to calm her down, or you wear this thing and be tortured by the berserk Countess."
